New and Changed Information

The following sections provide new and changed information for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(10)DA8,12.2(10)DA7, 12.2(10)DA6, 12.2(10)DA5, 12.2(10)DA4, 12.2(10)DA3, 12.2(10)DA2, and 12.2(10)DA.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(10)DA8

Cisco IOSRelease 12.2(10)DA8 is based on Cisco IOS Release 12.2(10)DA8 and includes all of the new features introduced in that release. In addition, this release fixes the bugs described in the "Resolved Caveats—Release 12.2(10)DA8" section.

New Hardware Features in Release 12.2(10)DA8

No new hardware features were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(10)DA8.

New Software Features in Release 12.2(10)DA

The following new software features were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(10)DA. No new features were introduced in Release 12.2(10)DA8.

DMT Power-Management-Additional-Margin

The 8xDMT line card can run in power-management mode in the G.dmt or the T1.413 mode. The resulting power cutback produces a reduction in power dissipation and crosstalk. Only 8xDMT line cards support power management. All CPE may not support the DSL functionality for power management to function correctly. Check with a Cisco customer representative to verify CPE compatibility with the 8xDMT power management.

You control the Power Management feature by issuing a dmt power-management-additional-margin command inside a profile and assigning that profile to a line card interface. This IOS command allows you to set the additional margin for each channel from 0 dB (off) to 15 dB. This sets the additional margin that will be added to the target margin. If the sum of the target margin and additional margin exceeds 15dB, it is capped at 15dB. If the actual margin of the line is higher than the sum of the configured target and additional margin, and all the above conditions are met, then power management attempts to reduce the actual margin, and as a consequence the power level as well.

Not all CPE support power management. If you connect an unsupported CPE to a port on which power management is turned on, you will not see a reduction in the actual margin or power level. The operating modes supported by power management are T1.413and g-992-1 (G.DMT). Table 1 shows the CPE and specifies which operating mode supports them.

A reduction in the power level occurs if there is excess margin on the line. For the downstream direction, if there is excess margin, then IOS displays a reduction in margin for the modes listed above, and a reduction in transmit power for T1.413 mode. For the upstream direction, if there is excess margin, then IOS displays a reduction in the margin for g-992-1 mode only. IOS will not display a reduction in transmit power for the upstream direction.

ATM OAM Cells Supported in Fast Path Mode

The NI-2 now supports atm oam cells through fast path mode. Also, you can now use the ping atm utility command in fast path mode.

Enhanced ATM OAM Segment Cells Support

A new command, atm oam intercept segment, allows you to enable or disable receiving atm oam segment cells on valid connections. By default, the atm oam cells received on unconfigured or down connections are dropped. For more information, see theCommand Reference for Cisco DSLAMs with NI-2.

MIB Object Changes

This release contains changes to the following Management Information Base (MIB) objects:

The power management feature is configurable via the CISCO-ADSL-DMT-LINE-MIB. The mib object cAdslAtucDmtConfPMAddSnrMgn configures the downstream component and the mib object cAdslAturDmtConfPMAddSnrMgn configures the upstream component on that particular dsl profile. Both objects default to 0 and can be configured from 0 to 150 tenths of dBs in increments of 10. Setting the objects to 0 explicitly via SNMP will disable the power management feature on the ports.

Installation Notes

Update the Image in Bootflash to the 12.2(10)DA8 dboot Image

When you upgrade from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)DA2 or earlier images on the NI-2 card to Release 12.2(10)DA8, you must reformat the bootflash on the NI-2 card.

Note If you are upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)DA, 12.1(6)DA2, 12.1(7)DA, 12.1(7)DA2, 12.1(7)DA3, 12.2(1b)DA, 12.2(1b)DA1, 12.2(5)DA, 12.2(5)DA1, 12.2(7)DA, 12.2(10)DA, 12.2(10)DA1, 12.2(10)DA2, 12.2(10)DA3, 12.2(10)DA4, 12.2(10)DA5, 12.2(10)DA6, or 12.2(10)DA7 you do not need to reformat the bootflash. You can skip this section and follow the DSLAM upgrade procedure at the following URL:http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/dsl_prod/ios_dsl/rel122/config/04conf09.htm.

Note We highly recommend that you have console access to the NI-2 card during the upgrade procedure. You can use the console connection to troubleshoot any unexpected events that occur during the upgrade.

To update the boot image, perform the following steps in privileged EXEC mode:

Record the current value of the config-register that appears on the last line of the show version display.

Step 6

DSLAM# configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode. You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to DSLAM(config)#.

Step 7

DSLAM(config)# config-register 0

Set the config register to 0x0000 so that the NI-2 reboots in the ROM monitor.

Step 8

DSLAM(config)# exit

Exit global configuration mode.

Step 9

DSLAM# copy running-config startup-config

Save the running configuration.

Step 10

DSLAM# reload

Reset the system.

Step 11

rommon> set

If you see BOOTLDR after you enter this command, the image in bootflash is already being used as the bootstrap image; go to Step 15. Otherwise, go to Step 12 and enter the commands in Steps 12 through 14 to force the system to use ni2-dboot-mz.121-5.bin as the bootstrap image.

Step 12

rommon> unset BOOTLDR

Unset BOOTLDR to remove the variable.

Step 13

rommon> sync

Sync to save the state of rommon.

Step 14

rommon> b

When the NI-2 boots, it uses ni2-dboot-mz.121-5da.bin as the bootstrap image.

Step 15

DSLAM# configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode. You have entered global configuration mode when the prompt changes to DSLAM(config)#.

Limitations and Restrictions

This section describes the limitations and restrictions for Cisco IOS DSLAM releases.

Attainable Bit Rate Is Conservative on 4xflexi-DMT and 8xDMT

The reported DMT aggregate bit rate is less than the true attainable bit rate.

Limitations

Due to line condition variations between trains, the effect of trellis coding, interleave delay, FEC check bytes, and so forth, the attainable bit rate estimate is not always 100 percent accurate. A conservative approach was taken in making the estimate; therefore, in general, you can get a higher rate than what the estimate suggests. For a fast-path scenario, the results should track fairly closely for the downstream rate and err on the conservative side for the upstream rate. For an interleave path scenario, the results are highly dependent on configurations.

At a higher reach or where line conditions are not optimal, the effect of having trellis coding, interleave delay, and FEC check bytes can provide a much higher rate than was estimated (greater than 128 kbps).

Workaround

There is no workaround. The aggregate bit rate calculation is an estimate, which does not accurately model all of the line conditions that affect the true attainable bit rate for a given profile. The calculations for aggregate bit rate are performed as follows:

•The downstream capacity is obtained from the number of Reed-Solomon payload bytes per frame exchanged during line training, that is, the K value. The per-second estimate is then calculated from this K value. An extrapolated margin value is derived from the per-second estimate to make sure that if the line is trained at the estimated rate, it will still have an adequate margin.

•For upstream, unlike downstream, the Reed-Solomon payload bytes per frame is not readily available. Furthermore, unlike downstream, which requires a CPE EOC response to know the downstream margin, the upstream margin is readily available at the CO (upstream margin is measured at the CO end). Using this upstream margin and the number of bins utilized for upstream, an estimate of upstream attainable bit rate is made. (The associated DDTS numbers are CSCdv05351 and CSCdv05322.)

CPE Performance Issues with Overhead Framing Modes 0, 1 and 2

The customer premises equipment (CPE) does not train or perform reliably when the Discrete Multitone (DMT) profile is set to use overhead framing mode 0, 1, or 2.

Overhead framing modes 0, 1, and 2 are not supported at this time.

Workaround

Overhead framing mode 3 is designed for use in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). While overhead framing mode 1, which is not currently supported, is designed for Synchronous Transport Module (STM) mode. Configure your profiles to use overhead framing mode 3. Overhead framing mode 3 uses only 32 bytes of administrative overhead. Compared with overhead framing mode 1, it allows more bandwidth to be allocated to user data.

Trellis Coding Enable Default Recommendations

Trellis coding is disabled by default on the NI-2 because it is not supported on the 4xDMT (ATUC-1-4DM) card. However, trellis coding is supported on the 4xFlexiDMT (ATUC-4FLEXIDMT) and 8xDMT (ATUC-1-DMT8) line cards. Additionally, trellis coding should be enabled for the 4xFlexiDMT and 8xDMT line cards.

For all 4xDMT (ATUC-1-4DMT) ports in the DSLAM, make sure that trellis coding is disabled in the dsl-profile for those ports. For all 4xFlexiDMT and 8xDMT ports in the DSLAM, make sure that trellis coding is enabled except with ADI chipset based CPE using ADI F/W prior to ADI 3.1. This includes all Cisco 677 and Cisco 627 CPEs.

See the documentation at the following location for details on the commands used to change trellis coding settings on the NI-2:

VPN Interfaces Restricted to Trunk Interfaces

MPLS ATM-Label Switch Router Functionality Not Supported

DSLAMs are not meant for use as MPLS ATM-Label Switch Routers (ATM-LSRs). When designing your network, keep in mind that DSLAMs act only as Label Edge Routers (LERs).

Performance Restrictions for MPLS VPN Traffic

MPLS VPN-enabled interfaces do not perform as well as switched VCs. Please take this into consideration when deploying MPLS VPNs in your networks.

Restricted MPLS Features

The following MPLS-related features are not part of MPLS VPN mapping of RFC 1483 routed sessions:

•MPLS traffic engineering

•MPLS multicast

DSL Interface Limitations

In DSLAMs, each DSL interface can support multiple permanent virtual circuits (PVCs), but we recommend that you use one routed MPLS VC if a dynamic routing protocol, such as RIP, is used between the CE and the PE.

MPLS VPN Mapping Not Supported on the Eight-Port IDSL ITU-C Line Card

Routed termination of IDSL connections is not supported since Cisco IOS Release 12.2(1b)DA.

Frame Relay PVCs/Soft PVCs on an IDSL Interface

The number of Frame Relay PVCs/Soft PVCs on an IDSL interface is restricted to 1 if you use the default row in a frame-relay connection traffic table (FR-CTT).

When upgrading to Release 12.2(10)DA8 from previous releases, you must first create a new row in the FR-CTT with the desired CIR value and use the resultant row number during PVC/Soft PVC creation. If you do not create a new row, the second FR PVC/Soft PVC command is not parsed and installed on the IDSL interface.

Use of a Ring Topology in a DSLAM Subtend Environment to Achieve ATM Trunk Redundancy

Ring topology is achieved when a node in the subtend tree is attached to the ATM access to provide a physically redundant loop. Thus, when the primary ATM access or one of the ATM trunks in the subtend tree fails, the soft permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs) can be dynamically rerouted through the use of Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI). See Figure 1.

Figure 1 SPVCs Prior to Failure

This redundancy requires the use of SPVCs. If you use permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) or permanent virtual paths (PVPs), redundancy cannot be provided. The use of the SPVCs allows traffic to be rerouted around the failed access point, because SPVCs leverage this feature of PNNI. When the failure occurs, the SPVCs are disconnected and dynamically reconnected across the new path. See Figure 2.

Figure 2 SPVCs Dynamically Rerouted

Requirements

If you implement ring topology in a DSLAM subtend to achieve ATM trunk redundancy, the following requirements apply:

•You must use SPVCs, PNNI, ATM signaling, and Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) to enable rerouting. PNNI, ATM signaling, and ILMI are enabled by default. Permanent connections such as PVCs and shaped virtual paths (VPs) do not benefit from the redundant link.

•You must make the redundant link's PNNI administrative weight higher than the PNNI weight of the primary trunk. Once you change the weight of the redundant link, the subtend tree uses this link only if a failure occurs.

Limitations

When the redundant link is active, the following occurrences are problems:

•Loss of subtending fairness.

•Increase in latency as well as an increase in cell delay variation (CDV) between the cells. Delay-sensitive traffic, such as voice and video, or traffic that is susceptible to jitter, such as constant bit rate (CBR) voice, might be compromised. This technique is best realized for unspecified bit rate (UBR) traffic, such as consumer internet access, where no strict quality of service (QoS) objectives are required.

Once the redundant link is active, the following occurrences are potential problems:

•When the main link is restored, there is downtime while the path is being rerouted. After the SPVCs are rerouted to the redundant ATM trunk and the original trunk is repaired or brought back into service, you must manually intervene. You must flap (shut/noshut) the subtend port. Because of retries on the current path, you must keep the trunk down until the maximum retry interval expires.

Cisco DSL Manager

If you are using versions of Cisco DSL Manager (CDM) before CDM Release 3.4—from CDM Release 1.0 to CDM Release 3.3(3)—do not upgrade the DSLAMs to this new Cisco IOS release.

If you use both the CDM network management application and the Cisco IOS command line interface to manage your Cisco DSLAMs, you should be aware of certain configuration and procedural implications. Please refer to the Release Notes for the Cisco DSL Manager, Release 3.4 for this information.

NI-2 IP Services

During system startup, the following protocol warning messages display. You can ignore these messages.

•If RADIUS is configured:

%AAAA-4-SERVUNDEF: The server-group "radius" is not defined. Please define it.

When you upgrade from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4)DA or earlier to Release 12.2(10)DA8, the default soft PVC addresses on all interfaces change. This occurs only when you upgrade to Release 12.2(10)DA8 from Release 12.1(4)DA or earlier.

Workarounds:

Reconfigure the soft PVCs associated with all interfaces.

Assign a (nondefault) address to the interfaces.

Configuring Cisco Routers for Use with IDSL

If you wish to use a Cisco router for an IDSL application and the router is running a Cisco IOS release prior to Release 12.1, you must configure the ISDN switch type. If you do not configure the ISDN switch type on the Cisco router, the router's BRI interface might not come back up after the IDSL line goes down and comes back up.

To prevent this problem from occurring, execute the isdn switch-type basic-ni command in global configuration mode on the router.

This problem does not occur if the Cisco router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.1 or later.

Assigning VPI Values to Shaped VP Tunnels

This release supports the full range of VPI values: 0 to 255. However, if you configure VP tunnels with traffic shaping, you can use only 32 VPIs out of that range. If you have not yet assigned any VPIs, all values from 0 to 255 are available. Once you start assigning VPIs, however, the assigned VPIs limit the VPIs that remain. (You assign VPIs using the atm pvp or atm pvc command.)

After a particular VPI value is assigned to a shaped VP tunnel, every 32nd VPI value above and below the first one is eliminated—that is, the original value modulo 32. For example, if you assign VPI 94 to a shaped VP tunnel, the following VPI values become unavailable for any purpose: 30, 62, 126, 158, 190, and 222.

Installing Multiple Cisco 6160 Chassis in an Equipment Rack

You can install multiple Cisco 6160 chassis in a telco equipment rack. A standard 7-foot equipment rack can house four Cisco 6160 chassis, stacked one on top of another. This configuration maximizes the DSL density within a 7-foot rack. However, if space is available or if you are interested in using multiservice capabilities that the chassis will support in the future, we recommend that you install no more than three Cisco 6160 chassis within a 7-foot rack. Leave a space of at least 2.5 rack units (4.375 inches, or 11.1 cm) beneath each chassis for future cable management use.

Console Logging

Turn console logging off if you plan to reboot the DSLAM. Turn console logging back on after the system comes up. (Console logging is turned on by default.) Use the global configuration commands no logging console (to turn the feature off) and logging console (to turn it on).

If console logging is on when the system reboots, the large volume of console messages consumes CPU time. As a result, the system comes back up more slowly and line cards might reload repeatedly, causing further delays.

8xDMT cards with interleaving delay configurations of 2000us and below have problems holding train and/or having less than expected upstream train rates.

Workaround: Avoid interleaving delay values of 2000us and below with 8xDMT cards. Interleaving mode configurations should use 4000us delay or above. If lower delays are required, Fastpath mode can be used if supported by CPE being used.

CSCdx57259

The connection between the modem on a 4xDMT line card and the CPE is lost when an NI-2 redundancy switchover occurs.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx67720

When you copy a configuration file from a tftp server to the startup_config through snmp, ccCopyState (CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB) will be in "running" state ever after. It will not change to "Failed" state.

The show startup command displays the following output:

%% Non-volatile configuration memory is being accessed, Try again

Workaround: Make sure that there is enough space available in the nvram before copying, using snmp or use cli.

CSCdx84898

Upgrades from Cisco IOS 12.1(7) DA to newer IOS images cause G.SHDSL ports to occasionally drop and retrain. The error is listed as LOSQ (Loss of Signal Quality) due to CRC errors detected or LOS when Loss of Frame Sync. is detected.

Workaround: Newer versions of G.SHDSL firmware have been adjusted to meet the ratified standards. This may require some fixed-rate loops to not hold train at the current configured rate used with Cisco IOS 12.1.(7)DA. Reducing the configured rate in some cases will resolve the issue. Random drops may still occur on some ports.

The entry for the atmSoftPVccRetryThreshold feature has an incorrect default value of 0, rather than the default value of 1 that is shown in the ATM Soft PVC Management Information Base (MIB). A value of zero indicates that an infinite number of call attempts are required to increment the atmSoftPvcCallFailures object and thus disables alarms for the Soft PVCC.

CSCdu40049

Adding and deleting a profile from different sessions (for example, in two telnet sessions, one user is adding while at the same time another is deleting the same profile) has the potential of causing an unexpected system reload.

CSCdu42394

The ceAssetTag cannot be set for 8xDMT and SHDSL line cards.

CSCdv56813

Following a redundancy switchover, the standby card may reload twice before reaching the STANDBY-READY state. Once the standby is in the STANDBY-READY state it will not continue to reload.

CSCdv73591

Some VCs (PVCs/PVPs/Soft PVCs/Soft PVPs) are missing on reload even when they are stored in the startup configuration. This problem occurs if you create VC's by using internal CTT rows that do not appear in the show running-config command but do appear in the show atm connection-traffic-table command.

CSCdw53009

When you configure the ATUC-1-4DMT line card for loopback diagnostic, cells are dropped by the interface.

CSCdw67176

The commands no tag-switching ip and tag-switching ip from the global configuration mode remove the tag-switching atm vp-tunnel 13 vci-range 33-65535 line on the sub interfaces.

CSCdw73531

Not all IMA group/link alarms are shown in the event browser.

CSCdw87272

If you try to enable tag-switching ip, the following message is returned: %VP-tunnel vpi is not free for Tag-switching.

CSCdw91698

The NI-2 does not support OAM F5 seg-loopback cells, in the fast path.
